Poppy Hill

#SMUTTY #RED FLAG #STRONG MATURE CONTENT A/N: At least read the first ten chapters before tossing the book away. . . On her legal marriage ceremony, Poppy Sinclair receives the shock of her life when she is presented with another marriage certificate to a man whose name didn't exist in any records. Her family publicly humiliates her in front of everyone at the civil bureau, branding her a whore and a disgrace. And in front of her trembling eyes, her betrothed, Dale Roosevelt proceeds to marry her stepsister, Layla Sinclair instead, signing their marriage certificate right there. Poppy thought nothing her twisted family ever did could shock her. But she was wrong. Three days later, she is met with a truth she could never face — her fake marriage with the stranger was planned by her stepsister and betrothed, to a man they thought was deceased, just so that they could get married first and hide their affairs. "You'll marry Dale... even if it means being his second wife!" Her family had said when she exposed her half-sister. And when Poppy tried to rebel, she realized that fate was cruel to her. Her supposed husband, Alaric Langford, was a mad man the world knew nothing about, and a man no one dares to cross. Trapped in a twisted marriage, Poppy decided to go against her cruel fate and take revenge on everyone who had ruined her life. But something was weird. Why was her mad husband aggressive with others but clingy with her? And why was he strange sometimes like he was normal? ## EXCEPT 1 Poppy stopped just at the entrance... and froze. "What in the name of sanity...?" The front yard—no, the entire courtyard—was in chaos. They were guards everywhere, chasing after one man. And not just any man. A tall, dangerously handsome, half-naked man with wild black hair. He ran barefoot through the courtyard, laughing like a child who'd stolen candy, while the guards struggled to catch up. "GET HIM!" "HE'S HEADING FOR THE FOUNTAIN!" Poppy's mouth fell open. Her brain couldn't process what she was seeing. Why were they chasing him? The man suddenly paused when he sensed her. And then he turned. Their eyes met. She drew in a sharp breath at the eye contact. There was something disturbingly beautiful about him. His chest rose and fell as sweat glistened across his skin, and he looked at her curiously. Then he smiled. She felt her heart thunder wildly in her chest, but her face paled when she realized what he was about to do. Without warning, he yanked off the last piece of clothing he had on. Just like that, he was completely naked.

In the blood-soaked shadow of Partition, two nations went to war—and never stopped fighting.** PART I: KASHMIR’S BLOODY DAWN (1947–1948) As the British Empire collapses, India and Pakistan are born in a frenzy of communal slaughter. Trains packed with massacred refugees crisscross Punjab, while in Lahore, **Jawaharlal Nehru** and **Muhammad Ali Jinnah** duel over Kashmir’s fate. When tribal raiders storm Srinagar, the Hindu Maharaja signs away his kingdom to India in exchange for salvation. But Pakistan strikes back—capturing Skardu Fort in a brutal siege and igniting the first war over the Himalayas. Amidst the chaos, a young Sikh farmer, **Kartar Singh**, loses his family to a Muslim mob and joins the Indian Army, vowing revenge. As the UN draws ceasefire lines, Kashmir lies divided, and the seeds of eternal hatred are sown. PART II: CLASH OF TITANS (1965) Eighteen years later, Pakistan launches *Operation Gibraltar*, infiltrating Kashmir to spark rebellion. When India retaliates, full-scale war erupts. In the skies, PAF legend **MM Alam** destroys five Indian jets in 30 seconds—an unmatched feat—while **Squadron Leader Sarfaraz Rafiqui** leads a suicidal raid on Halwara airbase. With guns jammed, Rafiqui stays airborne as a decoy so wingmen **Cecil Chaudhry** and **Younus Hussain** can escape, sacrificing himself to Indian flak. On the ground, **Major Raja Aziz Bhatti** defends Lahore’s BRB Canal for 120 hours without sleep, falling to a sniper’s bullet. As tanks burn at Chawinda and navies clash off Dwarka, both nations claim victory—but the Tashkent Agreement leaves Kashmir still bleeding. PART III: BIRTH OF BANGLADESH (1971) East Pakistan explodes in revolt. After Pakistan’s *Operation Searchlight* massacres Bengalis in Dhaka, India trains the *Mukti Bahini* guerrillas. At sea, Pakistan’s submarine *PNS Ghazi* mysteriously sinks on its own mines while hunting the INS Vikrant, and *PNS Hangor* avenges it by torpedoing the Indian frigate *INS Khukri*. In the skies, trainee pilot **Rashid Minhas** thwarts a hijack by Bengali defector Matiur Rahman, crashing his T-33 rather than let it reach India—earning Pakistan’s only air force Nishan-e-Haider. On the western front, 120 Indian soldiers hold off 3,000 Pakistanis at Longewala using jeep-mounted guns. When Dhaka falls, 93,000 Pakistani POWs surrender—humiliating a nation and birthing Bangladesh. PART IV: FROZEN CONFLICTS (1984–1999) In the icy hell of Siachen Glacier, India seizes the world’s highest battlefield by stealth. Soldiers freeze solid in their bunkers as Pakistan fuels insurgency in Kashmir. After Indira Gandhi is assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards and her son Rajiv falls to a Tamil bomb, nuclear tests in 1998 push the rivals to the brink. Then, in 1999, Pakistan infiltrates troops disguised as militants into Kargil’s peaks. **Captain Karnal Sher Khan**, the “Tiger of Tiger Hill,” decimates Indian assaults until an artillery shell tears him apart. **Lalak Jan**, a Pakistani soldier, fights alone for 24 hours with a machine gun, killing 12 Gurkhas before succumbing. When India storms Tiger Hill at point-blank range and the U.S. forces Pakistan’s retreat, soldiers are abandoned on the mountains—their bodies rotting in no-man’s-land. As General Musharraf seizes power in Islamabad, the war ends unresolved, leaving behind frozen graves and a question: *Will the next war go nuclear?*
